Hey guys!! It was so great to see everyone yesterday!!!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to post when I got home. When I pulled in the driveway (after taking DS to the inlaws house WAY out of my way) DH was all dressed up and ready to go OUT!!
ALL I wanted to do when I got home last night was take a hot bath and go to bed!! BUT he never wants to go out so I wasn't about to say no. So, got the few birds that came home all put away, went inside, got cleaned up, and out we went. I was SO tired!!! I made him drive and I slept in the car going both directions.
SO...I will put the Spring swap thread up in a few minutes...
In the meantime, I want to point out CR's earlier post about checking the Oregon thread to see the challenge issued to us by the Washington thread. Many of you do not post on the Oregon thread, and may not go see what it's all about...SO - it is a challenge to "paint our thread PINK" for breast cancer awareness. One of our own on the WA thread has been recently diagnosed and is only beginning the battle of her life, as is another WA BYCer who is not making it public knowledge (I only know that she is out there, and that hers is more advanced, I don't know which person it is). I received a very touching email from the first of the two telling me how much it meant to her that I changed my avatar. It doesn't seem like much, but it's a small way to show her and anyone else battling that we support them and think of them, even if we don't get to talk to them every day, and even if we do not know them personally....
So in support of those who are currently fighting, those who will in the future, those who have survived this awful disease, and those we have lost...please take a small, seemingly insignificant step and change your avatar, even if only briefly, to show how much Oregon cares.....
I've already been looking at the indoor arena for next year.....
